Custom Portraiture
Through bespoke portraiture, I love to capture the fleeting seasons of those beautiful faces you love — in a way that is tangible and full of life. Each piece is crafted using traditional, time-honored techniques, the finest materials, and nearly two decades of experience. It is an honor to create an heirloom for your family.

More Information

A $480 deposit secures your commission. For Petite Portraits and Drawing Portraits with 1 face, this covers the payment in full. For larger-scale works, a second deposit may be required before final payment. Once the initial deposit is received, your place is reserved and the creative process begins.

If you are local to Dallas, TX, we may arrange a bespoke photoshoot to create the perfect reference images. If distance separates us, we will thoughtfully review your existing photographs or collaborate on guidance for new images to be taken. Whichever path we choose, I’ll help ensure your final reference meets the artistic standards essential for a timeless portrait.

After selecting the final reference image(s), we will confirm the portrait’s size and finalize the project details, including total investment.

In large projects or those involving specific color palettes or compositional adjustments, I may provide a small, hand-painted color study for your review. This step ensures we are fully aligned before moving forward with the final piece.

Once the composition and vision are finalized, I will begin the full painting. This stage generally requires 2-4 weeks for smaller projects, and 6–10 weeks, depending on complexity.

As the portrait nears completion, you will have the opportunity to review the piece. Minor refinements may be made to ensure your vision is fully realized.

Upon your final approval, the remaining balance is due. Delivery will then be arranged.
